    Exactly what Cowboy17 said. The US release Bluefin versions come with an extra sleeve that says Voltron over the original Golion box. The box underneath is the same as the Japanese release, it's literally just a nice sleeve that says Voltron on the front and has the back info in english.

    I'm on my third run already going for a time completion weapon unlock. I'd personally recommend normal not easy, easy is a bit too easy, there's far less monsters and there's quite a bit more ammo and health items. The game can be challenging in the early hours, but once you've figured things out and gotten out of the purposeful no weapon intro things feel much more like a classic Resident Evil title. I personally love this game to death and feel it is the game the franchise desperately needed. I really can't recommend it enough, the story is more centralized and not as stupid and large scale like previous games, ammo and item conservation is key, puzzles are back, and the atmosphere is very creepy and intense. I wouldn't call the game difficult as I would call it classic Resident Evil. Without spoiling things, there are several Nemesis like enemies that can't be killed, they must be dropped temporarily with ammo or outrun and avoided, this is the classic flight or fight gameplay of early RE titles. I've seen many complain puzzles aren't as difficult either, and I can agree to a degree, the previous games had puzzles where you could sit and think, piece things together and really take time on more challenging brain teasers, in REVII the puzzles are a bit easier but the balance is that once again you must juggle several enemies that can appear at any time and make what would be an easy task a much more tense and frightening encounter. There are so many excellence little moments that happen, I go over encounters and areas with a friend who is also playing just to compare how their encounter differed, it's great. Saving and safe rooms are plentiful and give you plenty of breathing room, so I wouldn't be deterred by the challenge, the game is great and very intense, I'd say go for it and grab a copy.

    I LOVE my Downbeat/Jazz. I will admit I think Toyworld Coolsville has the cleaner alt/vehicle mode, but Downbeat smothers the bot mode in the crib, it's pretty much perfect. There were no changes made to the rear bumper on Downbeat, it is what it is, it's my only real slight nit-pick. I don't think it's too noticeable, the whole back end is pretty small and compacted so it's really just the two little leg covers pieces that look egregious. Still the best Jazz you can buy in my opinion.

    Well look who finally showed up... I also got some other goodies. Figuarts Ninja Turtles complete! Now I just need Shredder and at minimum four Foot Clan soldiers. The Rogue One Stormtroopers are the figures we should have gotten when the original versions released along with Vader when the line started, these guys are great, the double jointed knees and extending thighs are perfect. My whole MP Transformers collection is official Takara MP and third party, but there was no way I was buying Takara Soundwave and then the tapes all separate, this Hasbro Asia release comes with all his minions in one box like the Hasbro US release. And lastly I've been dying to get my hands on Downbeat, aka my MP Jazz! He's pretty damn beautiful in both modes, and quite hefty, the legs got tricky for a moment but this thing is nearly perfect. Once again, I'll give Takara's a look when they announce it, but they've got a steep hill to climb to rival this guy.

    My Downbeat got delivered to work today along with a bunch of other goodies from BBTS! I messed around with him for a bit, his alt mode is beautiful! The white is really pristine so all of the other markings and paint on it really pop! I haven't had a chance to transform him but damn, once again, this thing screams MP Jazz!

    Yup got mine too, very excited. Now, after several years, I can finally finish the FIRST Avengers team as Figuarts, better late then never I guess.

    Meh. I like Bobby and his reviews, but he also blatantly missed the extension in the elbows. I feel he glosses over reviews far too often, and doesn't familiarize himself with at least the instructions beforehand. I gotta disagree hard on the range of motion and articulation, I think Bandai went above and beyond as far as engineering goes. This guy has joints on extensions on joints, he's insanely articulated for such an old boxy design, far more then I expected to be honest.

    That sucks to here. I've had some good experience using Jet when regular super glues fail. Instant Jet is pretty good stuff. In a pinch I've also used a small little bit of epoxy too, that can get sketchy but the stuff holds really well. Epoxy is thick too, so you could do some buildup and filling in like you said you wanted to do.
  9. Tking22
    Is it cheating though? I consider the extendable joints part of the articulation as well, no reason not to.

    Some new shots of Bale Batman, with a cloth cape no less? Interesting, that was always what distinguished Figuarts from Mafex, cloth goods. Looks pretty good! I can't really recall, but if this the first Figuarts figure with a cloth cape? Or any cloth goods for that matter?

    Has anyone else been watching The Good Place? I was very skeptical at first, it looked by the numbers and the network it is on didn't give me much hope, and yet, it was probably my new favorite comedy of 2016. The first season just ended the other night and I have to say, it was probably one of the best season finales I've ever seen, and it had probably one of the best, most satisfying twists I've seen on a show in a VERY long time. If you're looking for a new comedy to watch that isn't super vulgar, or edgy, or over the top, this is definitely worth a watch. The performances were very solid, it was funny without being trying too hard, and the dialogue is quick and smart, highly recommended.

    ^Well said on Terraegis. I think he's a great figure, and after a ton of flip flopping and talking up Speedbump, I can happily admit I sold my Speedbump to a fiend several hours ago while on lunch at work. It looked pretty good, and had nice paint, but he just wasn't as nice all around as Terraegis. Terraegis hits all the marks for me for an MP Trailbreaker, even though I was never a big fan of the character, this figure has really warmed me up to his design. My Terra is pretty much flawless, and I love the mold so much I'm getting Artifex even though I really don't care for Hoist either. Also, Downbeat is officially in stock at BBTS, I have mine sitting in my Pile of Loot. That's going to be a fun box, MP Hasbro Asia Soundwave, Figuarts Mikey, Chogokin Voltron, and finally, after years of waiting, MY MP Jazz. I've been eyeing the Reprolabels set for him, I've never applied a set to any of my figures, I really don't like gumming them up with a bunch of stickers, it seems very cheap to me, but this set does look pretty decent. And compared to Coolsville he does have the objectively more plain alt mode. I don't know, I may just give him some Autobot logos and call it a day.
  13. Tking22
    I'm going with Artifex for Hoist because I love the MMC mold, and I REALLY hate transforming my Speedbump. Lorry does look better in bot mode, alt mode fails due to the massive amount of visible kibble. I think Artifex will do just fine, he's already shorter then Terraegis, and I'm just going to spread the hood/chest area out so he's as fat as possible, works for me, I really don't want to deal with another fiddly Speedbump mold. Coolsville has a better alt mode then Downbeat, but for me his bot mode is a dozen kinds of meh, especially that flap behind his head, that is SO distracting.

    It was already confirmed those aren't real comics, they were made just for these shots for the film. http://io9.gizmodo.com/those-x-men-comics-in-the-logan-trailer-were-made-just-1791398132

    Yeah Padme went up on NY this morning, I already paid and got my PO in. Link is below, web exclusives are pay up front for those that somehow don't know. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/19855-shfiguarts-padme-amidala-attack-of-the-clones-limited-edition.html

    I'm a die-hard MMPR fan, so I was seeing this either way, but this trailer was MUCH better then the last, far more fun. I hate the Kanye music, Goldar looks dumb, as does the Megazord, but overall this looks much better then before, much more colorful and less emo seriousness. Also, Heisenberg as Zordon works for me.
  17. Tking22
    Looks good!
  18. Tking22
    A few new Padme images. She looks pretty good, I'm fully in on every release in the Star Wars Figuarts line anyway so this is just another to add to the collection. I can't find if she's a regular release or exclusive though. Anakin is exclusive, maybe she is too? Either way like I said, I'm getting her either way.
  19. Tking22
    Yup same, here. I'm VERY excited, this is my MP Jazz, I doubt the official TT version will anything I'm interested in based on these past few releases.
  20. Tking22
    Woohoo! BBTS officially charged me for my Chogokin Voltron! Unfortunately he's going to have to sit until Figuarts Mikey and MakeToys Downbeat/Jazz release, then that big ol box of goodies will finally be on its way.

    Confirmed, US release Figuarts Strange just comes with a dumb recolor of the Tamashii Flame Effect. Good god that was scaring me. Decent US price I guess. I feel I really didn't miss out at NY, paid US $74 for him shipped EMS. BBTS just seems to have the price up for the Import version, which is odd, they're not going to sell the US and Import versions are they? They've never done that, and once again, that'd make zero sense. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN17455&mode=retail
  22. Tking22
    Yeah do you have confirmation on this? If that's all it is I can breath a sigh of relief, I could really care less about an alternate colored flame effect.

    I've always considered most Zelda games semi open world, like Dark Siders, or Shadow of Mordor. GTA, Saints, Row, Assassins Creed, Far Cry, those are truly open world. Breath of the Wild appears more open world than any previous Zelda title, for better or worse. I'll reiterate that they could pull it off, it's just most open world games now days have a hard time filling in their world with interesting things, they pad it with artificial time killing stuff. I mean we'll know in about two months how well this new open world will open up, I'm just extremely skeptical. I love AC and Far Cry too, played every single one, but that doesn't change the fact that they are filled with a ton of lazy missions and quests, with tons of padded and repeated content and activities. The grind and repetitive nature works for those games, it's expected, but I'm worried Breath of the Wild will simply be that with a Zelda skin. If it is I'll be massively disappointed, that's not at all what I want in a new Zelda, but once again, I'm hoping Nintendo will do something more here.
  24. Tking22
    Yeah I guess technically that one and Wind Waker to an extent were open world, but not like this. This new Zelda appears to be going for the current Ubisoft open world formula, it's huge with tons of things on the map to do, but will any of it be fun? Will it get boring and grindy doing to the same thing I've done in 20 other regions all over again? Time will tell. There's no doubt more love and care will be put into this then, say, a Far Cry or another Assassins Creed, but still, the trend of moving everything towards open world worries me.
  25. Tking22
    It looks good! But not that good, I'm honestly worried how it will turn out. So many franchises now are going open world, because apparently that's the bees knees now days, but I just have this fear that it will be a big world filled with lots of boring busy work. I loved FFXV, but that game turned out the same way, FF was never open world, then it is, and it's a big open world, but it's pretty empty and mostly just filled with places to do fetch quests and other boring grindy stuff.
